. My son found him on the floor in the frontroom at 12:30 a.m., he thought he might not be alive but seen him moving. So removed all hair and stuff off of him and put him gently back into the tank. Then he ran upstairs to come get me, knowing I love Little Hummingbird. I ran downstairs to find a stressed out puffer cowering in the corner of the tank. I came down later to peak on him and I seen he was swimming around the tank. Woke up this morning thought I would find him not alive, but he is still with us. I put on the light and she started freaking out so I put it off right away and I will leave it off until later before I see if he will eat tonight.
Full Version: Wow I Can't Believe My Gsp
My GSP decided last night that he would go for a walk OUT of his tank . My son found him on the floor in the frontroom at 12:30 a.m., he thought he might not be alive but seen him moving. So removed all hair and stuff off of him and put him gently back into the tank. Then he ran upstairs to come get me, knowing I love Little Hummingbird. I ran downstairs to find a stressed out puffer cowering in the corner of the tank. I came down later to peak on him and I seen he was swimming around the tank. Woke up this morning thought I would find him not alive, but he is still with us. I put on the light and she started freaking out so I put it off right away and I will leave it off until later before I see if he will eat tonight.

awww, poor little guy. 
At least he was found before it was too late. I
At least he was found before it was too late. I
Oh good! Found before it was too late! 
So many times our little jumpers are found when there is no saving them.
I'm glad your story has a happy ending!
Hmmmmmm....that is really to bad.... Puffers are generally not jumpers....They are very hardy... so I am glad that you found him in time...keep us updated...
She ate for me this afternoon, so that is a good sign. She is a jumper, she is very jumpy and hits her head on the lid of the tank from time to time. She is a tough little puffer.
That is really weird, as I have never heard of a puffer jumping like that. What kind of lid do you have on the tank? A lot of times if puffers are exposed to air they will ingest it and it is difficult for them to get rid of it (thats why when you catch them you always should keep them underwater). But it sounds like yours was lucky this time.
I have a lid that clicks closed but I bet it was not closed properly that night. I thought she would die because of the air being trapped inside, but I guess she got rid of it when my son put her in the tank.
have seen a 10in puffer jump but as said it isnt common, glad HBs ok
Wow....Not that common....glad they survived!!!!
If it not that commom does that mean I have I psycho puffer on my hands. LOL
Yes.... I would hire a clinical psychologist!!!!! 
LOL.... Seriously, all fish can jump but most puffers will not...doesn't mean they can't or they never will....I am afraid you don't have anything to worry about!!!!
